The benefits of Scoop-it are endless. I love the fact that I can follow and scoop specific material for my page. I want to be able to have teachers at my school visit my scoop-it to find the latest resources and articles. I also plan to begin an Edmodo PLC started at my school, and scoop-it allows me quick and easy access to relevant material to choose from. The organization of Scoop-it is perfect for me. This opportunity to curate my interests onto my personalized page makes it a valuable resource for my teachers.
My personal Pinterest page has characteristics of curation, it isn't able to suggest content for me. This is something that makes the ease of finding content more suitable to my job and time. Embedding digital curation into my role as a GCC and into teacher's repertoires puts a focus on increasing motivation and interests. I hope to spark the interests of some teachers and help support them in recognitizing the benefits for their knoweldge and incorporting the opportunities with their students.
The introduction of these digital tools into teaching is essential for the 21st century learner. Creating user-organized collections of the abundance of material available on the web is a skill that all educators must posses. Digital curation supports the development of academic reading and research that may otehrwise not ever develop. Professional developmnet opportunities in JCPS are not taken advantage of the way they should be. Allowing (teaching) teachers to curate their own professional learning empowers and engages at completely different level.
Overall, Scoop-it and pinterest both llow for organizing one's interests and opportunites for development in the classroom. The advantage of Scoop-it is the curation and consistent suggestions for improved, further developed, content.
